Lisa Borkowski from Germany talking about her overall experience in Morocco

To better understand the Moroccan cuisine, you must understand the use and know about spices involved in this cuisine which is the secret behind how delicious each plate is.

Rass El Hanout: its name has nothing to do with it as it means the "head of the corner shop" J this is a special spice found especially in Morocco. It consists of a mixture of spices including: Melegueta pepper, Lavender, Galanga, Long pepper, Pepper shank, Nutmeg, Root of the iris, Chili Jamaica, Cinnamon, dried Mace, Cloves, Black cumin, Ginger, Cardamom, Black pepper, Turmeric and other spices all crashed and mixed together.

This Moroccan spice is heavily used in Morocco dishes. It is fragrant, considerately spicy, and perfect in Tagines and other stews, couscous, delicacies and more. So if you are wondering what makes Moroccan food special in its way try to use Rass El Hanout with some saffron and you'll get the answer.

Bab Lamrrisa was built back in the 16th century by n Andalusian engineer come from Seville called, Muhamed Ben Ali. It faced up Bougergreg River towards Hassan tower. It was built with a unique technique enduring the era. Water was brought to the door using a deep broad channel, in order to export ships to the sea after they are constructed inside the Medina. They open the basin of the north door until the big channel is filled and then they sail with ships to the sea via the Borgreg river. On either side of the arch, flower motives interlace on a quasi triangular surface in the centre of which are thrown two symmetrical shells. The summit of the door is finished off a frieze of geometric traceries under which are also inlaid shells. In every end of this band which ends on an angle, two short small columns support a raven made by notches, decorated with serpentines and crowned with a tray of rectangular stone. It is to add that the whole facade including different decorating is exclusively constituted of stone.

The International Film Festival of Marrakech has come to an end far too quick. All along the week we have seen international names, actors and directors, getting honored on the red carpet. Including Forest Whitaker, just before the tribute ceremony, extracts from his works were projected. Also the audience of the legendary Jamaa El Fna square has been able to follow the screening of Whitaker "Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai" published in 1999.

Fans of this remarkable actor also enjoyed a selection of his best films as "Panic Room" "Mary" and "The Last King of Scotland".

Besides Whitaker, the FIFM honored this year Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan, the Franco-Moroccan Roshdy Zem, the Moroccan country-side lover Bastaoui Mohamed, the American director Terry Gilliam and the Italian director Marco Bellochio.

Hope you are all doing great! This is our small line describing how interesting our weekly get together was. Nevertheless the number of volunteers is increasing the good atmosphere and fun is still around, however we start missing volunteers who have left previously namely: Stephanie, Imogen and Hanne. We were at Marrakchi family. Mdm. Meryam prepared a great variety of food, Cakes, Passtilla, tarts and different other stuff. Also, Mr. Said was there uttering his usual random jocks, playing music and inviting everybody to dance. Conversations took place as well weather one to one or in public announcing some news. I smelled some traveling plans were made at the meeting. Hope everybody enjoyed! Have a nice weekend and see you soon.

Our weekly photo, sorry no food is provided out of it, watch and don't be jealous :) join us for some
